BLOCK EMULSION

BLOCK EMULSION is an innovative admixture for pressed concrete. When BLOCK EMULSION is incorporation into pressed concrete products, the permeability to water and the occurrence of unsightly efflorescence is virtually eliminated. The use of BLOCK EMULSION enhances the intrinsic quality of pressed concrete products by reducing the damage caused by weathering-related water uptake and efflorescence.

BLOCK EMULSION is designed to be a water repellent admixture during the manufacture of pressed concrete products including load-bearing blocks, decorative blocks, coloured blocks and blocks for retaining walls and basements. It may also be added into concrete pavers or other pressed concrete masonry or similar procedures. However, it is not recommended to be used in aerated concrete masonry or wet-mix concrete products.

Some features of BLOCK EMULSION pressed concrete are:

• Reduces water absorption and efflorescence by over 80%
• The product remains permanently bonded to the substrate and cannot be washed out
• It does not leave an oily residue on the masonry substrate
• It is easy to use in any existing processes
• The degree of water resistance can be varied by changing the rate of addition
• It is a water based technology with no hazardous materials emitted during use
